خَرَاجٌ خراج (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ خَرْجٌ , (S, Msb, K,) both also written with damm, [i. e. ↓ خُرَاجٌ and ↓ خُرْجٌ ,] (K,) but the former mode of writing them is that which more commonly obtains, (TA,) i. q. إِِتَاوَةٌ; (S, K;) A tax, or tribute, which is taken from the property of people; an impost, or a certain amount of the property of people, which is given forth yearly; a tax upon lands &c.: (TA:) or the revenue, or gain, derived from land, (A, Mgh, Msb,) or from a slave, (Mgh,) or also from a slave: (A:) and then applied to the land-tax, which is taken by the Sultán: (A, Mgh:) and the poll-tax paid by the free non-Muslim subjects of a Muslim government: (A, Mgh, Msb:) or خَرَاجٌ signifies especially a land-tax: and ↓ خَرْجٌ , a poll-tax: (IAar:) or the former also signifies the poll-tax paid by the free non-Muslim subjects of a Muslim government: it is a term which was applied to a yearly land-tax which 'Omar imposed upon the people of the Sawád [of El-'Irák]: then, to the landtax which the people of a land taken by convention agreed to pay; and their lands were termed خَرَاجِيَّةٌ: accord. to Bd, it is a name for the proceeds of land: and has then been used to signify the profits arising from possessions; such as the revenue derived from the increase of lands, and from slaves and animals: accord. to Er-Ráfi'ee, its primary signification is an impost which the master requires to be paid him by his slave: accord. to Zj, ↓ خَرْجٌ is an [obsolete] inf. n.: and خَرَاجٌ, a name for that which comes forth: and he also explains the latter word by فَىْءٌ: and ↓ خَرْجٌ , by ضَرِيبَةٌ and جِزْيَةٌ: (TA:) the pl. (of خَرَاجٌ, L, TA) is أَخْرَاجٌ and أَخَارِيجُ [a pl. pl.] and أَخْرِجَةٌ. (S, K.) الخَرَاجُ بِالضَّمَانِ, a saying ascribed to Mohammad, (K, TA,) occurring in a trad. of 'Áïsheh, of disputed authority, but affirmed by several authors to be genuine, means, accord. to most of the lawyers, (TA,) The revenue derived from the slave is the property of the purchaser because of the responsibility which he has borne for him: (A, * Mgh, * K, TA:) for one purchases a slave, and imposes upon him the task of producing a revenue for a time, and then may discover in him a fault which the seller had concealed; wherefore he has a right to return him and to receive back the price; but the revenue which he had required the slave to produce is his lawful property, because he had been responsible for him; and if he had perished, part of his property had perished: (K, * TA:) in a similar manner IAth explains it, as relating to a male or female slave or to other property. (TA.) ― -b2- ↓ خَرْجٌ and خَرَاجٌ as used in the Kur xxiii. 74 mean A recompense, or reward. (Fr.) Some, for ↓ خَرْجًا , in this instance, read خَرَاجًا. (TA.) ― -b3- And خَرَاجٌ is also used as meaning (tropical:) The taste of fruit; this being likened to the خراج of lands &c. (TA, from a trad.) ― -b4- See also خَرِيجٌ, in five places.
